Authors POV...John swiftly hid behind the tree when he noticed a pair of eyes locking in on his. He would never miss those eyes for anything in the world. They were no other than Edwina's eyes. It's been a while since he had seen her, she had morphed into a beautiful woman, and she obviously did look a bit like her mother, but not as much as Sonia. Sonia is the exact carbon copy of her mother.He wondered what Edwina had been doing in the house. Since he married her off to the then Beta Ben, he had not set his eyes on her again. He had married her off to Benedict at a handsome price, just when he needed it the most.If Edwina was here, then definitely something must have happened to Sonia, maybe. He was really hoping Jared would get back to him and let him know the success of the plan. Surveying the environment again, he went into the house through an underground step he had made if the need for escape ever occurred.His faked death and disappearance had never been in the plan before
Edwina's POV...I put a hand on my chest, feeling my heartbeat. It was beating extremely fast. I didn't want to start acting like a maniac or be considered as one. When Becca asked if I was okay, I only nodded slightly, unsure of what to say.She already thought my sister was crazy and wouldn't hesitate to say I was experiencing a phase too. I would need to go back to Sonia and ask her for the exact truth and why she thinks dad wants to kill her, especially if he was considered dead."Can you please take me back to the prison yard?" I told the driver."As you please ma'am." He replied, making a turn back to the road leading to the prison yard.I have been thrown into a series of shocks in just a day. I didn't know exactly how I was feeling. At this moment, I would do anything just to forget my sorrows and worry about them later. Thinking of that sent waves to my pussy. Even in this present situation, the thought of fucking Xander felt comforting."Want to share?" Becca asked meekly, s
Alexander's POV...I plopped myself on the room couch, feeling exhausted. My men informed me Edwina had been going back and forth to the prison. To make matters worse, she didn't pick up any of my calls. It got me on edge. Despite knowing she was in safe hands, it just pisses me off that she didn't see it fit enough to put a call through to me.It was obvious she prioritized her sister over her own husband. Curiosity nagged at my being as I kept trying to think of what had transpired during the day. Anxiety was never a good look for me. Caleb insisted I wait for her at home and not follow her like I had intended. He was right. If I ever wanted our relationship to work, I had to have a little bit of faith in her as a person.I hadn't had dinner yet. When I got offered, I couldn't help eating alone, knowing my wife was on her way home. Instead, I had told them to send over the dinner of chicken and salad to our room. I don't want to lose sight of her whenever she comes in.About an hour
Edwina's POV...I didn't know how else to thank Xander for making my bid without me necessarily asking. The sex made my bones straighten up, and the quick bath I had made me feel refreshed altogether. When he went to clean himself up, my nose found the laid platter of chicken and salad. My stomach growled in excitement at the sight of it. Without thinking, I dipped my hand into it, eating with relish.His throat clearing got my attention as he moved towards me. "Didn't think to wait up for me?"I gulped down hard on some chewed part, "I'm really sorry, I just couldn't resist the aroma. I'm so hungry." I said, tearing another part, chewing on it rapidly as it reached my mouth."Where were you all through the day?" He questioned, his expression morphing into something I couldn't explain.The chicken hung in my throat, and I almost spat it out on his face. The steamy moment we had made me temporarily forget the matter at hand."Oh, about that. I'm sorry I missed your call." I began tryin
Authors POV...Caleb slumped into his chair, feeling like the world's burden was carried by him. The day had been a tough one, and many more of this day would follow until they had been able to conquer the sizzlers. The training had gone well without a glitch; it made him feel good knowing they were making progress. He had returned to the office due to the distress call he had received from Xander. His mind was too preoccupied to actually hear him right. However, since he was returning to work, he thought he might as well call him back.Dialing Xander's line, he picked on the first ring. Caleb chuckled, "miss me that much?""Shouldn't you be glad I do?" Xander's voice boomed from the receiver."It's obvious there is a limited time you can go without me. Whichever way, I will always be by your side, baby."There was a slight pause, "I should tell Edwina to be careful of you around me. I really like my Luna, not you."Caleb laughed lightly, picking up a pen from the table and tossing it
Authors POV...The cool breeze hit her nerves, and the need to shift and run around the woods was imminent. But she felt lazy at the same time, the day had been long, and all she wanted was to take a stroll and clear her head. Working with royals made life uneasy for the mere workers, as their needs must be placed first before yours. But truth be told, the distraction was necessary.If the Luna hadn't been so preoccupied with her own problems, she would have been wallowing in the self-pity and depression she found herself in the past week.Becca heaved as she walked towards the foot of the large rock tree that looked good enough to sit on. Everyone like to call it the protective tree as it overlooked the whole of the night howler's pack. It is just some minutes away from the palace. Easing herself to the ground, she inhaled the familiar scent of a cold night, holding her leg up to her chest. The serenity calmed her nerves, and she felt more relaxed.Tears formed in her eyes as she loo
Authors POV...Xander laughed so hard he had to clutch his sides to keep a hold of himself. Caleb stared point blank at him, not finding any of his reactions amusing. He had just explained to him what had transpired the night before as regards Becca.In his confused state of mind, he had driven straight down to the pack house to ensure she had gotten back in, only to find her and Carlos at the main entrance talking like they were old-time friends. He didn't know what it was, but it didn't sit right with him seeing them together. Becca looked extremely relaxed; she was always that way around him since she was a shy person.He had walked straight up to them and dismissed Carlos with the excuse that he needed to see Becca urgently. He then held her by the hand and led her to her room. When he was sure she was tucked in her bed, he left to go home."Why would you even do that?" Xander questioned, still hiccuping from the laugh."I just felt the urge to protect her." Caleb defended."The l
Alexander's POV...My whole blood almost dried up as I saw a guard open the door, giving room for Edwina and Sonia to come in. Making jokes with Caleb had nearly made me forget why I had woken up in a sore mood this morning. I wasn't in the mood to see anyone or have any crazy-like discussion. However, Edwina had reminded me again of the promise I made to her.Sometimes I feel caged by her. I can't help refusing her request. I observed Sonia as she walked in, with Edwina acting as her support. Her baby bump had grown bigger from the last time I saw her, and I must say, she looked so pale. One might fear she would pass out if not held up well.I had no idea what I was thinking, just as they both bowed and sat on the couch available for visitors in the office. I nodded towards Caleb, who stood and helped wheel me, he took a seat, and I moved my wheel closer to kiss Edwina fully on the lips.I know my petty mind was to show Sonia how much I had moved on. Or probably because Edwina looked
